Al0 - Wednesday, February 3, 1982 - North Shore News inquiring reporter by Ellsworth Dickson (A Looking up at the North Shore mountains and listening to various ski reports, it ap- pears that at last it’s a good season for skiing. Let’s find out what some skiers think of the North Shore mountains this year. Today’s question is: ‘What is North Shore skiing like this year?”’ Michael O"Hagan Vancouver This is the best year for some time. Cross-country at Cypress is very good. I have not had any fog problems myself. I ski mid-week and so crowds are nota probiem, either. Drew Abbott North Vancouver Although the North Shore mountains have received lots of snow, sometimes it has been raining. But still, it is the best season in years. J think the Grouse downhill is the most exciting skiing on the North Shore. Todd Praua Vancouver This year is way better than last. Both the cross- country and downhill are excellent on Mt Seymour Heather Hirst North Vancoever This is one of the better seasons we have had in years.

Replying to a question by Alderman Don _ Lanskail, Mitchell said the attitude of the major breweries to the project had been “most helpful”. He told the hearing that the proposed enterprise would be the first cottage brewery in Canada — brewing “real ale” exclusive to one particular pub in the centuries-old tradition of British pubs prior to their takeover in modern times by the big breweries. Alderman Diana Hut- chinson noted that the premises are presently in a marina-zoned area. Several letters of support had been received by council, including one from the Horseshoe Bay Com- munity Association. A Bay resident also appeared before the hearing in person to express his support. Another Bay resident, however, voiced objections. William MacInnes told the hearing he was “very ap prehensive” about certain aspects of the project. In particular, he was concerned about garbage and the possibility of outside sales to passengers disembarking from the ferries and con- suming the ale in_ the waterfront park area. Mayor Derrick Hum- phreys pointed out that such a scenario would presently involve breaking the law against drinking in public places. Mitchell and Patrick rebutted. MacInnes'’ suggestion by assuring council that no single bottle sales would be permitted. The proposal for eventual outside sales, they ex- plained, would involve packing the ale in two-and-a- half gallon returnable plastic Cove bedrooms remain shuttered PRIVATE LIVES of Mariners Cove residents will continue to be private, even though a townhouse development is being built only 15 feet away from their homes, the development architect said Monday night. The proposed develop- ment will have no windows except a skylight on the side facing Mariners Cove, Yvonne Vasak assured some of the Deep Cove residents at a North Vancouver District public hearing Monday night. The 15 townhouse development is planned by Fama Investments for the north side of Naughton Avenue between Panorama Drive and Banbury Road. One Mariners Cove resident at the hearing said the bedrooms and living rooms of the two housing projects “look directly into each other.” Council voted to go to second reading on the project and to initiate a mandatory development permit area, which will ensure Fama will build what it says it will build. The development permit area is recommended in the new draft Deep Cove Community Pian as one way of controlling development in the downtown Cove area.

MacInnes also claimed that the Community Association meeting at which the letter of approval was endorsed had been inadequately advertised and that the attendance of about 30 people was not suf- ficiently representative of Bay residents.

Mayor Humphreys inquired about the status of the applicants’ Liquor Control Branch licence. He was told it had been “ap- proved in principle” and was expected to be confirmed at a meeting today between the principals and the LCB. The rezoning hearing was then adjourned for two weeks pending the LCB confirmation.
